Alrighty, figured since I've been ordering parts for this thing already I'll start a build. I traded my old civic for this thing, got a damn good deal. It need some work, but I plan on doing it ;)

Info:
'95 GSR
170K on chassis, about 5-10K on rebuilt GSR motor
Black leather interior already swapped in
New black paint

Here's some pics!






I did a few things since I got it. It was covered in stickers, so I removed them all. The neon zipties were replaced for black ones (till I can get it fixed), and I traded the wheels for some white slips. Yes, those are Evo stickers haha. I'm not one to rock fakes with stickers, but whatever. I'll be getting new wheels again soon!

How the car sits now:




Plans are fairly simple. I'll be getting tint, fixing the front end, ITR interior goodies, new exhaust, etc. Just small stuff, and maybe a JDM front in the future, but I'm digging the 98-01 front it has!

Thanks a lot guys! Did my first real mod to the car, new tint! I can't stand the fishbowl look lol.



Bought some lug nuts and mud flaps. Not sure whats next though! Oh I also got it tuned back on 91 (was on E85) which was completely stupid. Gas mileage was terrible, and not to mention its a stock B18C! No need for E85 there lol. I'm making a bunch more power, changed the vtec crossover etc and now I'm getting much better gas mileage too =)

Thanks! I love the front on it, but later on I may change it up. All depends on how long I have the car for ;)
Motor is going to stay simple. I'll get a different intake, RMF header, probably a WSII exhaust or something. Keep it stock and reliable.

Lookin good greyson :thumbs up
Thats what I'm sayin! I had to fill up 3 times in a week and a half because of how much I drive. It was retarded.

Thanks man!

s**t, back when it use to be like 1$ a gallon, then you may have been saving. But because it's almost the same price...f**k that! haha. The exhaust on it now is a straight pipe with a resonator. It's pretty gay :l

Two more pics I came across today. Not much going on with this car right now, just saving up for a few small things here and there. Inner tie rods, shift linkage replacement parts and stuff are on their way.
